...I am finally posting about our trip to Mexico. We had a great time. We started in Talum (south of Cancun--and much better, I think). We had a cute little bungalow right on the beach and maids came every morning with this fresh, Mexican breakfast.
These are the ruins in Talum. Right on the beach and beautiful. We decided we would have wanted to live there is we were ancient Mayans.
While in Talum we went snorkeling in the cinotes and out on the reef.
...look how low the roof is getting...kind of freaked me out, but it was interesting and unique.
Next stop, the middle of nowhere...I mean Rio Lagarto. The reason we went: flamingos. You cant see them very well, but they are the dots in the background. The boat tour was pretty cool, the hotel was not.
This is the highest pyramid in the area and it was only open to climb for a few more weeks (I guess someone fell off). It was quite steep but an amazing view.
Finally to Chichinitza--this is the older Mayan area.
Here we are near the famous pyramids. We had tour and it was really fascinating.
An amazing time--thanks to mom for watching the kids.
